At HART, we are obsessed with creating top-quality, soulful jewelry that is made to last. Our gold jewelry resists tarnishing with proper care, because we invest in premium gold-plating over brass. Each piece is assembled in our studio in downtown Charleston, SC.

CARE:
You can best preserve your jewelry by removing it before sleeping and showering, and reducing exposure to sweat and salt water, and chemicals like chlorine, perfume, makeup and lotions. However, we know that these rules are somewhat unrealistic, and life happens! If exposed, rinse your jewelry with purified water, pat dry, and store in a pouch.
